Our morning routine

My morning usually starts when kayden walks into our room.

I'm a pretty light sleeper so I always hear him getting out of the bed and pit n pattering into ours!

He opens the door, then crawls into our bed.

If I'm lucky he will fall back to sleep and I get the extra wink of sleep, but usually he's full of life!

He doesn't have a set time when he wakes up, it could range from half 7 to 10!

Emilee usually wakes when she hears kayden in the morning, and with that she's usually hungry so I pop her into bed with me and feed her, sometimes she will fall back to sleep, other time I've to give her the bottle.

Once I've finished feeding Emilee, she's then burped and changed and put back into her crib!

If its really early, and kayden is too awake for me, I hand him the iPad to watch Peppa pig and I lie down beside him! 

I usually wait until he's asking me for his breakfast to go downstairs!

Emilee is usually asleep by now so I leave her as she is and head downstairs with kayden.

I pop on the tv, it's between cartoons or football that's on in the morning!

Kayden then gets his breakfast, it's a pick between Cheerios or wheatabix LOL!!

When he's breakfast is finished, I then get him dressed for the day!

Emilee is still upstairs at this stage so I head up to her to see if she's still asleep, if so il get ready myself if I've plans for the day, if not il tidy, wash bottles, anything that needs to be done.

I then remember to get breakfast!
I then catch up on all my social media - Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, snapchat!

With all that happening, Emilee is up! Due to be feed, changed and burped!
She'll then be dressed and awake for about an hour!!

When Emilee is all settled, it's usually around midday and it's time for kaydens nap!!!

Finally :)

Nothing really to hectic for the morning time.

It's a whole different story if I'm going off with the kiddies!!

We all go for a nap in the afternoon until Pietro is home from work!

Struggling Being A College Momma.

Well, that was a fail! 

The start of summer I told myself to blog more & do so much more things in my life..

And no. I didn't do one thing that I wanted.

It's been.. 3/4 months since I've blogged (OOPS!)

I honestly forget to blog, or I'm just too busy.

But anyway.

Im currently in 3rd year in college (I know, I didn't think I would be a 3rd year LOL!)

It's the last year of my course, which means

WORK, WORK, WORK!!!!

AHHHHH!

And with being a full-time college momma, It's very hard to find time to myself!

When i'm at home, I'm constantly thinking of what I've to do for college the next day or next week.

And when I'm in college, All I want to do is go home & see my little pumpkin! (SADFACE!)

With Kayden being 2, He's starting to notice that I'm going more often & it kills me.

But I do get a BIG hello when i come back!

It's crazy to think that, this time next year, I could be graduating.. and have a degree as a graphic designer!!!

I'm trying to work my butt off with all the briefs, but it can be exhausting. I literally have about 4 weeks to get 5 briefs done. :( 

which includes a draft of a dissertation.... YIKES!

And I'm here, blogging LOL!

I'm not sure what I am going to do when college is over, it's kinda like my safety net! 

There is an add-on year.. but honestly the thoughts of another year in college!!!

But, i'll see when the time comes.

My weekday routine is basically;

Wake up at an annoyingly early hour (Still dark outside)

Make my face look half decent.. Especially when I'm up at all hours.

Wake Kayden up, & get him changed and dressed.

Drop him off to be minded.

Go to college for the day.

Come home, pick up Kayden.

Make dinner (If I'm not tired enough..)

Give Kayden a bath, and dressed for bed.

Give Kayden his Supper..

& put him to bed.

And thats when I put myself to bed.

And I repeat that the next day. Its exhausting!

but there is time where he stays in his daddy's house.. which can help but I'm still exhausted!

And with ALL that, I try and get as much college work as I can, to try and be ahead of things.. but at the moment... Im WAY behind LOL!

It's hard to blog, look after a crazy toddler and be a college student all at once.

When I do get time to myself, I really do make the most of it and do 

NOTHING!! lol.

But yeah, thats basically me right now.

I'm either tired, cranky, stressed or happy.

but it will be all worth it in the end.

fingers crossed!!!
